Chapter 605: Martial Arts Movie
The final box office of "Those Years" still exceeded 10 billion. Of course, compared with Lin Xiao's previous films, the box office of "Those Years" was still a bit lower.

This is also something that can't be helped. After all, although "Furious Chariot 4" ended without a problem because of Riley Booker's stupid fork, it still affected "Those Years" after all.

Although youth movies have a relatively large audience, after all, they are not the kind of movies that kill all age groups, and they still have their limitations.

During this period of time, the entertainment circle was very lively, thanks to Wang Bin's big sieve, the facades of the entire entertainment circle's female stars were immediately rubbed against the ground.

After all, although everyone knew that the entertainment industry was chaotic before, they didn't have an intuitive impression. Usually, there were only one or two scandals at a time, but this time was different. N number of scandals broke out all of a sudden, and they were all unbearable. In the eyes, even some of the self-contained characters are still white lotus, small and fresh.

As a result, as soon as Wang Bin's gadgets were released, tsk tsk, the picture is so explosive, it's comparable to an island country educational film.

Wang Bin also knew that he had made a big fuss this time, so he kept a low profile these days.

And something happened in the film industry.

Originally, it didn't seem to have much relationship with Lin Xiao, but the entertainment industry is a circle, it doesn't matter, don't get involved too easily.

After "Those Years", several martial arts movies were released one after another, and even held high the banner of reviving martial arts.

Any director who makes a movie wants to be recognized, whether it is the market or awards, those who say that movies are the director's self-expression, why do you spend tens of millions to express yourself?You are not Wang Bin, and your father is not Wang Tianhua.

Chang Hu is one of them. Chang Hu can be regarded as a veteran director in Huaguo. Although his works are not many, he is one of the only surviving martial arts film directors in Huaguo.

Chang Hu only shoots martial arts. When martial arts movies were popular, he made martial arts movies. Now that martial arts movies seem to have declined, he still makes martial arts movies.

Chang Hu is ambitious, otherwise, he would not have sharpened his sword for a few years to create a martial arts movie in his mind.

The banner played is also the banner of revival of martial arts movies, and he has the qualifications. After all, in the history of Chinese film and television, he alone occupies half of the more famous martial arts movies.

Chang Hu is indeed quite capable. His new film "Martial Arts Master", according to the promotion, he spent three years conceiving the script for this film, and finally shot it after another two years.

Chang Hu does not admit the decline of martial arts movies.

As a result, the box office of "Martial Arts Master" exploded. Although the box office on the first day did not exceed 7000 million, it reached [-] million.

In the end, it won a box office of 7 million Chinese dollars, which is already a record in the history of martial arts movies in Huaguo.

After ten years of sharpening his sword, Chang Hu finally came to the top after all the hardships.

For a while, all kinds of compliments came as promised, and Chang Hu, who was originally low-key, also changed his usual low-key and began to appear frequently in the media.

And martial arts fans even directly crowned Chang Hu as the master of martial arts movies in the film industry.

Speaking of it, Chang Hu's works are actually not many, and there are five in total, but it has to be said that Chang Hu does have his own uniqueness in martial arts-themed film and television works.

Although "The Master of the Martial Arts" is not a perfect work, and the film and television database score is not too high, only 7.2 points, but this is already the highest score of martial arts movies in recent years, and it is also the highest box office.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Xiao logically, but one of them is a master of martial arts movies, and the other is a master of martial arts novels. Naturally, some good people said that if Lin Xiao could cooperate with Chang Hu , then martial arts will surely revive.

And this statement is really very marketable.

Lin Xiao has the copyright of many martial arts novels, and the stories are all very good, and Chang Hu is currently recognized as the most accomplished director of martial arts movies in Huaguo.

With a good story and a good director, is the revival of martial arts movies far away?
Lin Xiao also went to see "Martial Arts Master". To be honest, although this movie is not as good as the outside world, it is still very good compared to those martial arts movies in the past. Chang Hu still has strength, but not It is as high as it is touted.

If the conditions are right, Lin Xiao would not mind cooperating with the other party once.

Although it is said that Lin Xiao "copied" several novels, in fact, not all of the stories based on novels are suitable for adaptation into movies, but TV series are more suitable.

However, there are still many suitable adaptations, and Lin Xiao has never done them, mainly because he is not familiar with action movies.

There may not be a clear definition of what is the most difficult movie to shoot, but action movies are definitely one of them.

Therefore, Lin Xiao still admires Chang Hu. There are not many directors who can make good martial arts movies these days.

"Martial Arts Master" is a purely traditional martial arts, not a fantasy martial arts. It is really not easy to make a traditional martial arts movie a box office hit today.

Hollywood movies like to make sequels very much. The first one lays a solid foundation for the masses, and the second and third ones follow immediately.

The reason is very simple, as a film company, it must ensure long-term financial stability, but the investment risk of the film is too high, no company can guarantee that the film will be a hit, so making a sequel has become the most guaranteed method.

The second is to adapt the IP.

Adapting IP, with its own traffic and topics, naturally has a much more mass base than original works.

In the Huaguo market, in recent years, there have been very few original dramas that have been well-received and well-received. Although there are, there are really not many, especially for large-scale productions, which are almost one-off adaptations.

Therefore, IP is becoming more and more valuable now, especially IP suitable for adapting film and television works.

The film and television adaptation rights of several martial arts novels currently held by Lin Xiao are naturally among the top IPs.

What Lin Xiao didn't expect was that soon he would have an intersection with this great director of martial arts movies.

"Huxia Film and Television? What's the background?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie in confusion.

"The company of Chang Hu, the director of "The Master of Martial Arts," Xiao Jie said.

"So it's him, why? He's interested in my novel?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course, not many people are not interested, right? What do you think?" Xiao Jie asked.

"It's okay to see it. To be honest, I admire this director Chang Hu. He can shoot traditional martial arts well, and it took so long to sculpt. It's really not something ordinary people can do." Lin Xiao said truthfully.

"Okay, let me arrange a time, and you guys can meet." Xiao Jie nodded.

It is actually not difficult to adapt Lin Xiao’s martial arts novel into a TV series, but it is not so easy to adapt it into a movie, because movies are different from TV series, the space is limited, and they need to be told within the limited space A complete story must be created twice or three times.

Moreover, in the current genre of martial arts movies, there are really few directors who dare to say that they make good ones.
